I use a timer to check the count of the inspector in the inspector collection
.. But i find that the count is always 0 in ol2000. Here is my code.

void __stdcall TimerFunc(HWND hwnd, UINT uMsg, UINT idEvent, DWORD dwTime)
{
..........
struct Outlook::_Inspectors* inspectors;
pClass-m_spApp-get_Inspectors(&inspectors);
if(NULL == inspectors)
return;

inspectors-get_Count(&nNowNum);

struct Outlook::_Inspector* inspector;

for(int i=1;i=nNowNum;i++)
{
inspectors-Item(CComVariant(i),&inspector);

if(NULL == inspector || 0xcccccccc == (long)inspector)
continue;

.......

}

......
}

Since the count is 0,i can't ge any inspector. Thankyou!

Outlook 2007 implements the interface needed to be able to compare
Inspectors directly. Prior to that the only way really is to compare
properties on the 2 Inspectors. I use the window location and size, window
caption, and the EntryID of the item in the Inspector (null on unsaved
items). For checking WordMail I would use Inspector.CurrentItem.IsWordMail.

If you are running an Outlook COM addin you are running in-process with
Outlook and shouldn't use Sleep() and all Outlook references should run on
the main thread.

I tried it . But i can't compare two inspector objects. So i really
replicate
it! Would you like to tell me how to compare them? Here is my code! It's
putted in a single thread ,not the main thread! I use sleep() so that it
works like a timer ! And i also try to use settimer(),but i can't compare
two
objects either!

......
struct Outlook::_Inspector* activeIn;
m_spApp-ActiveInspector(&activeIn);
if(NULL == activeIn)
continue;
CComPtrIUnknown activeUnk;
activeIn-QueryInterface(IID_IUnknown, (void**)&activeUnk);


struct Outlook::_Inspector* inspector;
CComPtrIUnknown spInspectUnk;
//IUnknown* spInspectUnk;

///*
for(long i=1;i=nNowNum;i++)
{
inspectors-Item(CComVariant(i),&inspector);

if(NULL == inspector || 0xcccccccc == (long)inspector)
continue;

inspector-IsWordMail(&bWordMail);
if(!bWordMail)
continue;

inspector-QueryInterface(IID_IUnknown, (void**)&spInspectUnk);

if(spInspectUnk.IsEqualObject(activeUnk))
{
//dosomething
//how to come in this block
}
}
